Jaguar Land Rover? More Like Jaguar *Landed* in Deep Shit.

Oh, joy. Another company with security that’s apparently held together with duct tape and wishful thinking. Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) finally admitted they got hit with a cyberattack back in September – took ’em long enough. The clowns over there are now saying some data *was* stolen. What kind of data? Personal info, vehicle details, financial stuff… the usual crap you don’t want floating around on the dark web.

The ransomware gang, Rhysida, claimed responsibility ages ago and were flaunting samples of the pilfered data. JLR initially played it down like it was nothing, but now they’re scrambling to notify affected customers. Surprise, surprise. They’ve reset passwords (like *that* fixes anything) and are “investigating.” Yeah, right. Probably still running Windows XP on everything.

They claim no critical infrastructure systems were compromised, which is what they *always* say. But honestly? I wouldn’t trust JLR to secure a lemonade stand at this point. Expect phishing emails and potential identity theft if you own one of their overpriced vehicles. And don’t even get me started on the fact that Rhysida is likely already planning their next victim while JLR figures out how to use a firewall.

Honestly, it’s just pathetic. Pathetic, I tell ya!

Reminds me of the time a “security consultant” told my old boss that enabling auditing was “too resource intensive” for their server. Auditing! Too…resource intensive? The guy was actively *trying* to hide breaches. People are idiots, I swear. And companies hire them. It’s a bleak world.
